Problem using Authentication on Apache on WinXP

devilpim

I'm using this code,

if( (!isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER )) || (!isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) ||
($PHP_AUTH_USER != 'username') || ($PHP_AUTH_PW != 'pass')
){
header('WWW-Authenticate:Basic realm="Member Only"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
echo $PHP_AUTH_USER;
echo $PHP_AUTH_PW;
exit;
}

which works fine on another webserver where I worked.
Now I installed Apache2 on my own WinXP desktop and setting up all those PHP successfully.
But I got a problem with authentication thing!
The pop-up window repeat again and again even the username and password is correct. so, i have to cancle it. therefore i can't access that page in the result.
Why is that?
Anybody knows how to fix it??

Thank you

I'm using WinXP.
and no, this is not connected with MySQL.
I don't want to use MySQL for this page.

I can confige MySQL and everything successfully. All that is wrong is this authentication thing. I really don't know why. I did works at my office's server which is Linux.

A check list

What version of php did you download for Winxp? binary version i hop? "unpacked version" it works best.. not the msi installation "it dosent work sow good as the binary i know"
have you copy the php4ts.dll into the win dir /system32?
Did you read the manuell installation of php module for apache in windows?

if you have not done some thing of this i can help you set up A apache with php as a module from start! into win32

PHP_AUTH_USER does not work in windowze servers.

See this link.

http://us4.php.net/features.http-auth

Also note that this does not work using Microsoft's IIS server and the CGI version of PHP due to a limitation of IIS. If you're using the IIS module (ISAPI), you may use the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable for example: list($user, $pw) = explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));
